I use to have the same problem , in my reloads I loaded them like a bolt rifle, My problem was a semi - auto needs slop for the cartridge to chamber so I sized my brass smaller , ( bump the shoulder back ). They will feed great now
My reloads would be dudes , just show small dent in primer. I got to looking the bolt would not be fully locked up , If I loaded just one round by it'self and pulled the bolt back and let go hard you might git it to fire . So just bump the shoulder back a bit and they should lock up good and fire.
